Only six qualified batters in 2022 have an ISO lower than that shown by Neifi Perez above. (Unfortunately, Robbie Grossman is one of the six lol)
-
Not to mention the whole "maybe the Rays knew Austin Meadows had vertigo" narrative that seems to be popping up as well. Just stupid stuff. I'm happy for Paredes and wish him great success, but it was still the right trade to make in that moment. Unfortunately for us, it's 2022, and guys wearing the Old English D have found creative ways to end up on the IL.

Assuming you are referring to Eric De La Rosa? Carpenter's numbers are better and he's doing it all at AA, but there's a lot of "pumpkin" risk with him.... just surprising to see Alvarez out raising expectations like that, can't tell if he's just doing the usual hype job or if there's something there that people are missing.
-
He's the best defensive 2nd baseman in the league right now, and he's been one of the few guys in the lineup over the past week or two that has been hitting balls hard (along with Candy, Miggy and Tork)... and outside of Abraham Toro, he has one of the worst BABIP's in the league, suggesting a significant amount of bad luck. If you want to find a player to pick on, I'd suggest Robbie Grossman.... I like Robbie, but there's very little positive to say about his game at the moment.

On Carpenter: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2022/05/22/detroit-tigers-farm-kerry-carpenter-erie-seawolves/9883955002/ This caught my attention, mostly because he doesn't show up on lists anywhere. We've seen this before with Brieske where a guy comes out of nowhere to get on folks radar, but it still easy to be skeptical. In the case of Carpenter, the strikeout rate is a little concerning.

The Tigers had trouble trading Schoop at the deadline last year when his numbers were relatively robust.... makes me think he'd get little to no return if you traded him now, two months before the deadline. Just ride him out as is for now.... the best version of this team has him in the lineup, and Kreidler isn't even 100% healthy or cleared to play games yet.

Good for him

I get that saber debates can come across convoluted, sure, but using the fact that Neifi Perez struck out less than Javy has as evidence that he's was a better player than Javy has been lacks a *lot* of context and data. Particularly in terms of power hitting metrics and the impact they have on a players contribution to the team. Hence why OPS is where the rubber meets the road... I'm going with the guy who is 100 points higher than the other guy. Easy decision
-
Lipcius as well... he really came on this week against New Hampshire
-
Javy Baez, in now 128 plate appearances, has a .575 OPS. Not a great number by any means, but it's around 100 points higher than Neifi Perez during his time as a Tiger. Javy strikes out more than ideal and has rolled over on a lot of balls this year, but OPS is where the rubber meets the road... and it's not a contest in comparing the two.

I hope that, with Daz' performance today, that spells the end of Willi Castro getting reps in CF. (but somehow I doubt it lol)
-
Will Vest ain't there to save Greg this time... Jesus
-
I have no clue how this game ends, but that feels like a big run... they have had opportunities to score more in this game and hadn't
-
Javy!!!!! Also WTF Shep... that was clearly going lol
-
I think they've squeezed about as much out Willi's hot streak as they are going to at this point...
-
Not Faedo's best outing, but good enough considering his stuff wasn't quite as sharp
-
Wow! Daz earning some more playing time today
-
The love affair for batting Willi in the 2 hole needs to end, like, yesterday
-
About time! lol

Schoop is also hitting the ball harder than most people in the lineup. And his BABIP is awful in a way that one imagines is unsustainable. His numbers aren't great, but he's shown enough life over the past few weeks where he's off my list... Robbie Grossman on the other hand...
-
Also, I'm not sure it's a good idea to take Schoop's bat out of the lineup at the moment, or whenever Kreidler would be eventually ready for game action. At least recently, he's been one of the only Tigers to actually hit balls hard
-
Yep, he'll be in a slump when that happens lol
-
Kody Clemens, 3-4 with two triples, 3 RBIs and two walks tonight.
-
Sure, it's a possibility. But I dont think it will ultimately happen
